fantastic vertebrae a
long licking corner of an unknown world spinning in its infinite dialogues
spewed like patchy grasses left off a vowel dimpled coconut millionaire at the
precipice of the bare shoulder blade tangled interspersed with algae glue &
character accolades pealed backwards with handlebar clouds razor blade glimpse
absence of leaping absence of leaping falling like scraps of wood against leaf
wall over
comma
beside circle
underwear dis-
integration
half bended paralyzed
sealed shielded between useless mushroom head half-regarded vanguard of tired plants to crash
to fall colliding with
stairs
revealed like the slow happenstance beside
broken lamps
the depths
where fists
ooze toward the
doorframe & surrounded
by
mourners
culpability:
fizzled out a horn
stuck
between the
minutes
that pass
heavily& never out
again
neither more nor less
nor the subscriptions
left
to
burn
on the
stove deserted under tongue
sliced
envelope squirting vacant vestiges
of uneducated priests carried over the soaked floors & into the creepy
fathomless closet that shivers & dissipates typified
momentum
relegated
to cleanliness
to life
returned tug
tug
tugging <beware of
purification &
phrases like
“clean line”> one brain
attached
to
another warp speed density
an
innovative approach
to
destruction
removed the bandages
abandoned the
formation
variety of etcetera syncopated to sprained perpetual nocturnal
drooling
of the slithering inevitable snake in plain sight officially less hollow than bare
buttocks
in the crystal hours of lilting poisons regardless
of static pouring inconsistencies obviously
a volcano
as the foggy camera angles adjusted not to
utter a single upward lack of
information
the indiscretion of a belched mother against pieces fit at angles rusted beside drifting solids holes
like dismantled finger traps & hurricanes
drown the cities & bury all histories until
nauseous forgotten
cursive lines battle gunshots then
pass
out this month be
unspeakable
& lips
to ear
surrounds painstaking area rug
less otherness lengthwise lack of
spectacle instead a fortress shining then lifted more
than rises entrails
of the seldom
concealed
postured average blame
unto the societies without
sufficient plastic to succumb
to
the melting
melting bag over striking voluminous
potholes leaning against
the pyramid through
the
quagmire
of
the finite as
rockpile altars in corner wheeze & cough over blinking lights stinging body
in varieties of one angle

agilities warmth
of
overburdened

careening variations of sinking
step
best step the
stench
& the vividness unaware to the point
of ingratitude before the under armor incline met with
eyes drenched in
sickness & white rage the spread
/ the holes that form under the feet as delusions
walk with
deliberate period
that stops
the capacity
to enchant
the fingers
ready the tiny hairs yet concludes weariness the mouth
dry dilemmas into riverbed
roof of mouth
that result
in promised thick
& viscose
renegade promise spent in tripping
over scenes
colossal wrists
&
an unreliable
framing device turned upward looking out of scars in
perpetuity
bleary instinctual workings of the morning the
point of distraction beneath grueling gaze or the moistness of dissipated
gaze
dwelling in
constant glowing elusiveness feeling every moment blowing
in temporary
spectacles against
reflections
three times the mirrors separate avenues
grow beyond
peak
of intrigue lost
in
the cobwebs of history across
foreheads
eyebrows
singularly
crumbling heaving
shoulders
once pieced
together jigsaw puzzle unbalanced the rapid movements blinding on a foot
misshapen the dust out of the hair
pubic region handled
with
a
proudly
stirred vagueness sleep
